Morrison is dangerously wrong on gas, and needs to wake up to new technologies — RenewEconomy
Morrison’s claim that gas is a key transition fuel for Australia’s switch to renewables is wrong and hopelessly out of date. He needs to catch up to Tesla. The post Morrison is dangerously wrong on gas, and needs to wake up to new technologies appeared first on RenewEconomy.

Gas as a transition fuel was a reasonable idea 30 years ago. At that time the Chair of a SA Govt consultative committee that I was on wanted the committee to support gas as a replacement for coal. I said I would agree if the same support was given to solar. The Chair, a former boss of the SA gas company (SAGASCO), declined.
We are well and truly past the transition stage now.
The gas industry in Australia left us high and dry by contracting too much gas overseas. I see no indication that the same wouldn’t happen again.
